Common Questions
How do your sessions typically work?
First of all, the KonMari® tidying journey is a very personal one. There is no set number of hours or sessions that one has to follow, but my sessions typically last 3-5 hours. The number of sessions it takes to complete your tidying journey depends on your tidying goals and envisioned lifestyle. In addition, the process will depend on the number of belongings you have, your time commitment and determination. Tidying your entire home or space may take 3-6 sessions or maybe even 7-10+ sessions. While tidying is a personal journey, one thing that we do recommend is following a specific order of tidying: clothing, books, papers, komono or miscellaneous, and sentimental items.
Our sessions are filled with encouragement and support and not any judgment. The ultimate decision to keep or discard is entirely up to you!
What if my partner or family member in the home is not on board to tidy? Will I still be able to achieve success?
Don't worry! Once again, tidying is a very personal journey. Each individual has his or her own definition or standard of what sparks joy. But by taking the initial step of tidying your own belongings, you will be able to create a more organized personal space and a life less stressful. When you have achieved your own KonMari® tidying success, naturally other family members will be inspired to follow!
Do I need to purchase special storage systems?
Not really! The magic of KonMari® is being able to organize without having to buy fancy storage systems. You may be surprised that often times, you already have boxes or containers in the home that will work well for storage. But, after we have finished the tidying process, you may seek out additional storage solutions that truly spark joy for you.
Do you help organize office spaces?
Yes, we can definitely tidy office spaces. The process to tidy would be the same as a home, by order of categories. For example, if you would like to organize office supplies in your office, then we will have finished tidying clothes, books and papers.
What are your areas of specialty?
I have helped clients from all different backgrounds: singles, couples, retirees, families and from different cultures. In particular, I have a deep understanding about Chinese culture that may often be a roadblock to decluttering success in many Asian households.
